About this item:

When Scottish village is struck by grief those left behind must help one another find hope.

It is 1881, and when a violent storm devastates the Scottish fishing village of Eyemouth few families escape unscathed. Newly wed Rosabelle Maltman loses her husband, and her mother-in-law Effie lost her husband and three sons. For these women and their neighbours in the close-knit community life will never be the same again.

Yet as the months pass, the women of Eyemouth must learn to look to the future, to live and to love again.

A dramatic and heart-breaking saga based on true events for fans of Ellie Dean and Anna Jacobs.

This story captives you right from the beginning. You can almost taste the salt in the sea air as Elisabeth McNeil describes the small fishing village in the first few pages. Brilliant story. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Bought for a friend who needs large print editions as eyesightis failing. She reports that it is a good story and is now readingthe follow up edition.

Excellent story!

The best novels have excellent characters at the heart, and The Storm is no exception. These characters are deep, real and keep you turning the pages after you know you should've turned out the light and gone to sleep.The plotline is heartbreaking, but, of course, you knew that from the description. I wasn't aware of this event in history, but -- as the book goes along -- you really see why the town would require generations to overcome such a thing.I'm looking forward to starting the next book tonight.

Really interesting story

The storm took away their real life

One never knows what nature can do but in this case it destroyed life and livelihoods of a whole generation of men. This loss became tragic for those that remained

Good book

A book that I could scarcely put down. And a great picture of life in that fishing village and its people. I really prefer a good solid ending..
